NC Watershed Assignment: - gather research using the uploaded file below. NOTE: website link on assignment sheet is not active. You will have to use various sources to get the information for your product. You can try:
https://www.bae.ncsu.edu/programs/extension/watersheds/
http://www.eenorthcarolina.org/riverbasins-interactive.html
http://www.ncwildlife.org/Conserving/Habitats/North-Carolina-River-Basins
Use these websites as starting points for your research. You will need to dig further to get all of the information you need for your particular watershed.
Your product: You will submit a colorful, neat, two-sided, tri-folded brochure as your product. Information should be organized onto your brochure in a logical fashion. You may do this by hand or you may create this digitally, BUT, you will submit a hard-copy product to me. This is due at the start of class March 29th (A days) and March 30th (B days). The expectation is that you will finish this by the 27th and 28th but I am allowing you an extra evening to offset any potential printer/computer issues. Plan your work appropriately - you should not allow this to interfere with studying for midterms.
